Childhood friends, adventurous companions, and total opposites, impulsive, scandal-prone Olivia Carsington and scholarly, principled Peregrine Dalmay, Earl of Lisle (from Lord Perfect), meet again after many years and, thanks to Olivia's manipulations and much to Lisle's dismay, are now on their way to restore a crumbling, supposedly haunted Scottish castle, arguing all the way. An accidental kiss shatters their old rapport and unleashes a passion they can't deny, creating a dilemma they'd never expected. Eminently likable protagonists, a delightful assortment of colorful secondary characters, both old and new, and a satisfying measure of exquisite wit, often hilarious banter, and breathtaking sensuality add up to a fun, spirited story.
VERDICT The fifth of Chase's Carsington books (the first three—Lord Perfect, Mr. Impossible, and Miss Wonderful
